Thanks Joel

On (1) not 45 seconds everytime, but certainly sometimes, how can I
check the indexing

On (2) Running Office 2007 on Windows Server 2003, have all available
updates

On (3) How can I check the temp folder and then clear it? I run
Terminal Services, so all runs on the server, no hard disk space issue
on this (its just a recent new disk installed, but had the problem
prior, so can't see fragmentation the issue)
